COURT-AIRLINES 2 LAST

The plaintiffs, Prakash Chandra, APS Tomar, Umesh Kumar, R N Kumar, Nitin Kumar Malik, Hardeep Singh, Harpreet Singh, Arunachal Priyadarshi,Naresh Kumar Yadav and Subhashish Parida - all senior aircraft maintenance engineers, had contended that they are senior to some selected candidates and therefore have the right to be selected for training programme for their career growth.

The court, however, dismissed their contentions saying, "Though it is correct that the email seeking nominations for the training was circulated to all the employees including the plaintiffs... Jet Airways cannot be compelled when there does not exist any contractual obligation as there is no contract with Jet Airways."

"Even if nominations were called from the plaintiffs as well, calling the nominations does not give rise to a binding contract," it said.

The respondents- both the airlines- contested the plea saying the plaintiffs are employees of Jet Lite and not of Jet Airways and therefore, they do not have any right to force Jet Airways to train them for the aircraft which has been acquired by Jet Airways for operating only at Delhi and Mumbai Airport.
